  • - What we got there?

  • I have something here that is out of this world.

  • [mystical music]

  • A meteorite.

  • Cool.

  • [laughs] Can I touch it?

  • Yes, sir.

  • RICK: It's meteorite not kryptonite, right?

  • [laughter]

  • Meteorite hunting is a hobby of mine.

  • It's awesome to hold something in your hands

  • that has come from billions and billions of miles away.

  • You're first human beings to ever touch.

  • Today I would like to get $4,700 for my stone.

  • The least that I'm willing to take would be $2,000.

  • RICK: What's it made out of?

  • CHRISTOPHER: Nickel, iron, and just ordinary chondritic stone.

  • If you look around the outside edge here,

  • you will see what they call a fusion crust.

  • That's the black line that goes all the way

  • around the outside of it.

  • And it's from material melting off of it as it

  • comes into the atmosphere.

  • It's only been on the ground for maybe three

  • to five months, approximately.

  • Only a few months?

  • Yeah.

  • You can see here where it was lying on the ground.

  • You can see part of the sand from where it was

  • laying up on top of the soil.

  • And the fact that it's still rusted

  • shows that the patina hasn't worn off yet.

  • If it was there for longer, it would be nice and smooth.

  • RICK: I mean, it's not of this Earth.

  • Yeah, it traveled billions of miles

  • to land here and in your hands.

  • RICK: Oh, more than billions-- billions and billions.

  • CHRISTOPHER: Billions and billions.

  • [laughter] Yeah.

  • I mean, if it's real, it's really cool.

  • I mean, I dig it.

  • I think it's really neat.

  • I mean, big problem is I don't deal in meteorites.

  • And I don't even know if it's a meteorite.

  • CHRISTOPHER: OK. - I want someone to look at it.

  • He'll do whatever he does.

  • He'll be able to tell me it's a meteorite right here.

  • I'm going to go give him a jingle.

  • Hang out.

  • I don't have any meteorites, but I have other stuff for sale.

  • So check them out. CHRISTOPHER: All right.

  • Sounds good.

  • How much do you want for it?

  • I'd like to get $4,700.

  • We'll talk-- let me-- let me talk to my buddy first, OK?

  • CHRISTOPHER: OK.

  • All right. Hang out.

  • He'll be here in a few minutes.

  • And we'll do some business, bro.

  • CHRISTOPHER: Fair enough.

  • ROBERT VERISH: I've been hunting meteorites

  • for the last 20 years.

  • It's just a whole lot of fun.

  • It gets me outdoors.

  • It gets me to feel I'm young again.

  • I'm a meteorite hunter.

  • Rick, so what are your concerns about this stone?

  • RICK: OK, I mean, is it a meteorite?

  • Well, I got to tell you, you know, a lot of people

  • come to me saying, hey, is my rock a meteorite?

  • You know, it's-- it's rarely, if ever, a meteorite.

  • So I'm going to say that first, OK?

  • I don't want to get your hopes up there.

  • So tell me a little more about how you found this.

  • Well this was found on a dry lake in Southern California.

  • [inaudible] it with my magnet.

  • Can I have your permission to do that again?

  • Absolutely.

  • I normally don't put a magnet on a meteorite.

  • If I'm in the field, sometimes you have to.

  • OK.

  • All right, that's interesting.

  • You saw that how that danced on there?

  • That's a strong attraction.

  • This is really exciting.

  • I'm going to look at it a little closer.

  • What you're looking for is whether it has these round

  • grains of metal and whether it also has these round

  • spheres of silicates.

  • OK, so it's-- so it's a meteorite?

  • That rock is older than this planet.

  • That thing was solid before this planet ever solidified.

  • Wow, that's pretty cool.

  • ROBERT VERISH: Chris, tell me about where

  • the other piece of this is?

  • The other piece is actually at UCLA right now.

  • It is actually cataloged. - Cataloged?

  • Yeah, it's cataloged in an international

  • official meteorite database.

  • The big question, what do you think it's worth?

  • Well, Rick, I got to tell you, if this meteorite

  • wasn't cataloged, it would fetch $10 a gram.

  • But this is a graded cataloged meteorite.

  • This is a $4,000 meteorite.

  • OK.

  • Cool. Thanks, man.

  • You're welcome.

  • It was a real pleasure to be able to tell somebody, hey,

  • this is really a meteorite.

  • These are the oldest rocks in the solar system.

  • They're even older than the world, our own planet.

  • Bob said it's worth right around 4 grand.

  • I have to resell this, OK?

  • It takes work.

  • I mean, realistically, it just looks like a rock.

  • I got to figure out a way to make it not look like a rock,

  • and I can give you $1,800.

  • Could you do $2,250?

  • It is one of a kind.

  • To a degree.

  • It's the only meteorite in the world that's shaped like this.

  • Will you take 2 grand for it?

  • Nah, I can't go that low.

  • I mean--

  • It'll look beautiful in here under the lights.

  • I'll give you $2,100.

  • I'm not-- I won't give you a dime more.

  • I mean, that's-- that's it.

  • CHRISTOPHER: That's it?

  • That is it.

  • [clears throat]

  • $2,100 sounds fair.

  • RICK: OK. deal, man.

  • Thank you very much.

  • All right, I'll meet you right over there

  • at the [inaudible] counter.

  • We'll write this up.

  • All righty.

  • $2,100 for something that fell from outer space--

  • you know, I didn't really have to do

  • anything except pick it up.

  • It was pretty good.

- What we got there?
